Abstract

PURPOSE:To allow the supply of parts under production and to eliminate the need for a parts aligning device by blanking the parts, aligning the parts on a die plate and supplying the parts to a use position by means of chucks. CONSTITUTION:A hoop material 18 is supplied and small holes are formed in two rows on this material by means of blanking punches 13. The hoop material 12 is cut by a punch 12 provided on the left side of a punch holder 10, by which the finished parts are blanked. The punch 12 has 1mm width in the feed direction of the hoop material 18, by which the width in the feed direction of the finished parts is made into 2mm.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

0001

[Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a parts supply device.
In particular, the present invention relates to a component supply device that supplies a hoop material onto a die plate and punches the hoop material on the die plate to produce a component.

0002

2. Description of the Related Art When manufacturing parts by punching a hoop material, conventionally, as shown in FIG. 3, a small hole 2 is formed with a punch while the hoop material 1 is fed to the left in FIG.
Punching was performed using die 3 shown by chain lines. Therefore, a punched hole 4 punched by the die 3 is formed in the hoop material 1, and the punched part falls downward through the punched hole 4.

FIG. 4 shows another conventional method, in which a small hole 2 is formed in advance in a hoop material 1 using a punch, the material is cut along a cutting line 5, and the finished parts thus cut are separated into pieces. I try to take it out in this condition.

0004

According to the conventional parts punched from such a hoop material 1, the parts are punched out by the die 3 or cut at the cutting line 5, and supplied in pieces. That is, the separated parts are taken out in a stacked state by, for example, installing a guide rail or the like under the mold. In order to supply parts cut using a robot or the like, separate conveyance and alignment means are required. Furthermore, depending on the material of the parts, problems such as deformation and scratches may easily occur.

[0005] The present invention has been made in view of these problems, and it has been made to allow parts to be easily taken out by a robot or the like in the same state without having to break them up and drop them from the die plate. The purpose of this invention is to provide a parts supply device.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention provides an apparatus for producing parts by supplying a hoop material onto a die plate and punching it out. The parts are cut by the cutting means, the cut parts are pushed forward by the hoop material sequentially supplied, and the parts are taken out by a chuck at the tip of the die plate.

[0007]

[Operation] Therefore, the hoop material supplied onto the die plate is punched and cut into parts. The parts punched on the die plate are pushed forward by hoop materials sequentially supplied from the rear, and the cut parts are taken out by a chuck at the tip of the die plate and supplied to a predetermined position. become.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS FIG. 1 is a longitudinal cross-sectional view showing a parts feeding apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention, and this feeding apparatus is equipped with a punch holder 10. As shown in FIG. The punch holder 10 includes a punch plate 11, a die 12, a punch 13, and a presser plate 14. A punch plate 11 is attached to the lower part of the punch holder 10, and a die 12 and a punch 13 are held by this punch plate 11. Further, the holding plate 14 is used to hold down the hoop material 18 when the die 12 is operated.

A die plate 17 is arranged at the bottom of this device. The die plate 17 has a hole corresponding to the die 12, through which cutting waste from the hoop material 18 falls to the lower part. A through hole 20 corresponding to this hole is formed in the base 19 disposed below the die plate 17. Further, the die plate 17 is formed with a hole corresponding to the punch 13, and the base 19 is formed with a corresponding through hole 21. Furthermore, the punch holder 10 and punch plate 11 are not present on the left side of the die plate 17 in FIG. 1, which allows the chuck 22 of the robot hand to approach.

FIG. 2 is provided by such a device,
The state of processing of the hoop material 18 for creating the punched part 25 is shown. The hoop material 18 is supplied from the left in FIG. 2 as indicated by the arrow. In this example, the hoop material is fed at a pitch of 3 mm. First, small holes are formed in two rows in the hoop material 18 using the punch 13 for punching. And figure 1
The die 1 provided on the left end side of the punch holder 10 of
2 cuts the hoop material 18, thereby punching out the finished part 25. This dice 1
2, the width of the hoop material 18 in the feeding direction is 1 mm, so that the width of the finished part 25 in the feeding direction is 2 m.
It becomes m.

The completed part 25 punched out in this manner is moved forward, that is, to the left in FIGS. 1 and 2, by sequentially feeding the hoop material 18 to the left at a pitch of 3 mm.

When it is fed over the die plate 17 to the left in FIG. 1, it reaches below the chuck 22. The finished part 25 moved to this position is gripped by this chuck 22. When the chuck 22 constituting the robot hand descends, the sensor 23 detects the chuck 22, the punch holder 10 descends, and the hoop material 18 is punched and cut. At this time, the proximal end of the hoop material 18 is held down by the presser plate 14, so even if the chuck 22 contacts the finished part 25 on the distal end side, the hoop material 18
The position of 8 will not shift.

When the finished part 25 is sucked and the chuck 22 is withdrawn, the sensor 23 detects this and the punch holder 1
0 moves upward, the hoop material 18 is fed by a length of 3 mm corresponding to one pitch, and the finished part 25 is pushed forward by one piece to enter a standby state, and the above-mentioned operations are repeated sequentially.

As described above, according to the parts supply apparatus according to the present embodiment, the hoop material 18 is processed while being sequentially fed one pitch at a time on the die plate 17, and the part 25 is completed. Then, the completed part 25 is not pulled out downward,
They will remain on the die plate 17 and will be sent out in sequential order. The punch holder 10 is not present on the upper surface of the die plate 17 at the left end in FIG. 1, and the upper surface thereof is exposed. Then, the finished part 25 punched out onto the exposed upper surface of the die plate 17 is fed, and the finished part 25 is taken out by the chuck 22.

[0015] Therefore, such a small press device is installed in an automatic assembly line, and the finished part 25 is punched out and manufactured on the spot, so that when the chuck 22 forming the robot comes to pick it up, the part 25 is ready in a fixed position. If this is done, a parts alignment device such as a parts feeder becomes unnecessary. This method of aligning completed parts is particularly effective when the material of the parts is soft and easily deformed, such as solder.

[0016]

Effects of the Invention As described above, the present invention allows the hoop material to be simultaneously cut or punched out during punching to be cut by the cutting means, and the cut parts to be pushed forward by the hoop materials sequentially supplied. The parts are removed using a chuck at the tip of the die plate. Therefore, it is possible to manufacture and supply parts on the spot, and also to take out the parts directly from the die plate using a chuck and supply them, thereby eliminating the need for a parts alignment device such as a parts feeder.
